Thats weird. All the Rho Gammas I know deactivated their facebooks around two weeks before recruitment. Doesn't that make things slightly awkward if you know?

I didn't find her on Facebook, hers is deactivated. But her chapter's blog didn't take down her name and that's how I found out. I don't think it's going to be awkward because I'm not going to mention it and I know it's her job to help us with recruitment and not promote her sorority. So even if I don't like her sorority or if I do like them and get cut by them, it's not her fault.

Same for me. A girl I know who knows one of my Rho Chis told me her affiliation. And it did ruin it a little bit, but I know she wouldn't be doing the job if she wasn't there to be unbiased.

Sometimes it's hard for counselors to be completely secret about their affiliations. Upperclassmen going through recruitment may have seen their counselors wearing their letters before, or like in your situation, friends of those going through recruitment know their affiliation and tell, or in my situation, the chapter may have forgotten to edit their blog as well as their official site. All I know is that if you keep an open mind about it and judge the chapters as a whole rather than on one member, you should be fine.

I'm sorry but you're saying one thing and typing another. You keep talking about how you're not going in with a clear mind, and no judgments and willing to accept any chapter. But your whole first post was all about preconceived notions. You even went to so far as to say what two chapters you think you are most likely to end up at.

This is NEVER the attitude to have going into recruitment. Hopefully you can shake this off and truly go in with clear eyes so that you can maximize your options and have the best recruitment possible.
